I absolutely love this sofa/chaise sectional. I received it today. It was easy to put together. The chaise attaches to the sofa section, but it can easily be removed. One reminder or suggestion: I found at first that the pillow flaps were very difficult to slide over the back of the sofa and chaise frame. I waited for hours and let the fabric expand They then slid easily over the framework. I ordered green. The sofa and chaise are firm, but comfortable. It is a very nice product for the price.
